Nostalgia & History > Need a What, Where, and WhenDate: 10/21/14 11:15 Need a What, Where, and When Author: edsaalig The only thing I know about this photo is that it was taken by William E. Botkin. (Photo/PRS Archive)
 Date: 10/21/14 11:23 Re: Need a What, Where, and When Author: ctillnc 957 was delivered in 1955. Was transferred to Amtrak in 1971 as 430, but I'm sure the photo is older than that.
Date: 10/21/14 11:43 Re: Need a What, Where, and When Author: hogheaded Butte Special @ Ogden, or mebbe the World's Fair Special @ The Dalles?

Date: 10/21/14 11:54 Re: Need a What, Where, and When Author: goldcoast UP train 5 or 6?
Date: 10/21/14 12:21 Re: Need a What, Where, and When Author: ATSF3751 One of 3 possible options.....the last days of the Portland Rose west of La Grande or train 5&6. I don't recognize the location. The Butte Special carried a baggage car and sleeper/snack car along with coaches until the end.

Date: 10/21/14 13:10 Re: Need a What, Where, and When Author: Notch16 The first Chair Car has an ACI (Automatic Car Identification) code label on the side. Those didn't appear on passenger equipment until around the Spring of 1969.
No train number in the indicators, which also confirms post 1967. ~ BZ Date: 10/21/14 13:12 Re: Need a What, Where, and When Author: Notch16 And are those snow shields tilted down slightly, towards the ends of the unit?

Date: 10/22/14 15:57 Re: Need a What, Where, and When Author: BuddPullman I agree, I would guess 5 or 6.
The late Portland Rose often had freight cars on the rear (i.e. TOFC) on the east end of the run. Not sure where photo is. Date: 10/23/14 19:29 Re: Need a What, Where, and When Author: upkpfan I say it is in Cheyenne. Look at the tower in background over the top of the train. upkpfan
